dont forget
This was my 25th b-day. and I had a grand ol' time, but I must say to all you cheerleaders that the H-S-F is sub-par - The Slipnot is all but non-existent - Not to be a negative nancy and all, but the earlier show in LA (Dominguez Hills)is much more spontaneous and inspired (esp. the Loose Lucy) and Blues Traveler opened with Popper in a wheelchair and rockin' tough - As a NW local I'm always chiding those OR hippies who think they're so cool

drove 4k miles to be at this show
My brother and I drove from eastern Tennessee to Eugene for these 2 shows. We were so foolish, but we had a blast and the shows were killer. I had never seen a Help Slip Frank before and while the boys were tuning up I heard Jer tuning for Help and my mouth hit the floor. I turned to look at my bro and he was just smiling and shaking his head up and down. Fun to go back and listen to this show and remember being young and foolish and enjoying life in a carefree way with my brother. Good times for sure. Needless to say, that was a great couple of days. Was it worth it the 4k round trip drive. I'd have to say yes.

A good performance. A decent recording with a touch of so called tape hiss between tunes. I wish we could clone Charlie Miller about fifty times over and have him remaster everything.

My Last Shows
These were the last couple of times I saw the Grateful Dead. I went to the gigs, headed off to go climb a couple of mountains and a month and change later, heard that Brent had died.
The whole thing actually changed for me in Alpine Valley in '88. I didn't think I'd go to any more shows after that tour. My impression of the tour was that the Old Feeling had left the scene. My friends got their nice tent ripped off, I got thrown out of a show by jock goons in Minneapolis and it went downhill from there. Maybe I was just getting old or something. I'd give it a couple more chances before throwing in the tie dye.
Anyway. Nice to have these here to listen to. I can listen to them when I'm sitting on the porch in my rocker, yelling at kids to get off my asphalt.
I remember the weekend. Well, sorta'. I think Kesey was at these shows. I've bumped into him so many times in Oregon, it's hard to get the dates straight. I KNOW Bill Graham was there. Jesus, I AM old.

Brent's last west coast show
Historic for that reason alone. I have had the second set sbd for some time but listened to set 1 first time. I was always interested at how the eugene Help slip franks sounded, and it was awesome but maybe a little bit short(slipknot), check out 7-18-90 deer creek to find the best h>s>f post bust out at hampton fall 89. Anyway, most notable to me is phil's tone on the bass. Truly unique even for him. These two west coast tour closing shows in eugene were definately some of phil's best sound ever. I wish we could still download these sbds. Phil rules

1990, need I say more
There wasn't much from the Mydland portions of 1990 that wasn't great. This one seemed like the band wanted to throw a little extra Eugune's way.

this is a great show with an absolutely BRUTAL cut in the instrumental break of He's Gone. Every other song is reccomended (esp. H>S>F)

Show 4 : Sound 4
This show is my second favorite of 1990, the best being the previous day. If you want two shows from 1990, the Eugene shows are the ones. The opening Help>Slip>Franklin's are well jammed and interesting, which wasn't always the case. If you get tuned in to the energy of the show from the start, Masterpiece is an inspired choice. Sometimes Bob makes some 'odd' calls but I'm beginning to understand them a little better. The energy of the tune is exactly what is needed at that point. Just A Little Light and Candyman are textbook versions and Let It Grow to close the set with a little exploration. Foolish Heart to open and an exceptional version it is. I don't care for Women Are Smarter but Jerry's midi solo really takes it somewhere I've never heard it go before, gives it a real 'fiesta' feel that makes me wish the song lasted longer. Wonderful reading of Standing On The Moon, second only to Alpine the previous year. Nice Box Of Rain and Estimated and relaxed and interesting He's Gone. Then the 1971 medley to close, including an excellent Brokedown Palace.

Nice Show
Well played.
Some hiss between songs, no matter.
This Foolish Heart really leads me to believe that this band was headed in a new direction. That path was changed when Mydland died.
It's hard to explain beyond that.

Defining Moment
I had been to probably 4 or 5 show before this...but this one changed me. It was my 18th birthday show and the set list tells the story. The performance, the magic of that day, and the energy only Eugene can create made it the best show of my career. Thanks guys!

I will never forget this one...
The day was typical Oregon overcast and I was sitting halfway up the stadium at stage right. Sugar Magnolia came around and right on queue with "Sunshine daydream" the clouds opened and the sun shone down ONLY on the band and the crowd dancing on the field. I was at this show with my father and we looked at each other grinning ear to ear. You could see the edge of the sunshine sitting perfectly in a ring that stopped just at the edge of the bottom row of seats. This is truely my all-time favorite Dead moment. The show was good quality, Little Feat opened up, and a good time was had by all that day.

Fun show
This is a strong, balanced set, just loose enough to be kind of relaxed and personal. It's pretty hard to find better examples of the opening four songs; the next few drag a little, but things pick back up with "Women Are Smarter" and from there on the show never looks back. Good recording of a good show.

Hotness
Another great summer '90 show. A perflect blend of new and old stuff. Can't really complain about a show that opens w/ a hot Help/Slip/Franklins and ends w/ a nicely jammed Let it Grow...not to mention the rest of the songs. The second set consists of extremely well played standalone songs at first, but jams out in Estimated->end. Get it!!
